    Breezy > That's a known bug and Dan helped me fix it :
    It will be fixed in the next release (out in a few days)

    jiminy-billy-bob,

    Thank you. I refrain from using your delete button!

    A possible future feature is the ability to colour the layers as in Sketchup's layers window. Also to rollup the window by clicking on the title bar.

    Thanks again for what you have produced, I have found it easier to control the layers in my projects. 😍

    Regards,
    Arie.

      Ive got some problems with the layer panel.

      1. It is asking for me to update the current ie explorer. But i already installed version 10 although it is not my standard browser, which is firefox.
      2. When I use the features as explained s. a . creatíng groups and layers and sort the whole structure, then i will not be able to open this very drawing again after saving and closing it properly. The comment is: ²wrong file format!² , the file is actally lost.
        I am glad i did not blindly change any important file and put too much time in doing so.
        Glad there is a thing called .skb! I think this is a rather serious issue.
        I wonder if i am the only one with this experience!

      Michael

        Unfortunatly, the API doesn't allow me to do that...

        Can you go to http://whatsmyua.com/ with Internet Explorer, and tell me what it says ?

        Did you create these groups with a version of Layers Panel older than 0.3.1 ? Like 0.2, 0.3, etc

        Thanks

          I'm having issues with renaming layers - only some though others work fine.

          deleting layer and starting again this dosen't happen - I can rename again

          (i didn't have to make a video for this but I've never done it, so there you go....)

            Is it renamed in SU's layer window ?

                  Ok, thanks.
                  I think it's related to Observers watching layers change. I had these kind of issue in the past and resolved a lot of them, but it's possible that some remain. If it's indeed related to observers, it should occur only with old layers created before Layers Panel was installed.

                    Ok Glenn, I found the issue. You simply have too many layers. It's related to the max length a url can pass between the dialog and SU. I forgot about this... I'll need to rewrite some code.

                      Thats it- it was an old layer. The reason i was changing it was to give it a capital letter, I started out with non-capitalised layer names......

                        does that mean theres a limit on layers?

                          For now, yes. I had this planned, but completely forgot about it. So I don't know the current limit. But in next version, it should be fixed.

                              that's the short list 😄 once you start to use ACAD standard architecture layer sets it gets "big"

                                On renamaming layers or groups directly on Layers Panel with letters from non ASCII character set (e.g. ąžįėš) this letters was changed to unicode codes.

                                I just tested, and it works for me when I rename a layer to "ąžįėš". Which versions of Sketchup, windows, and internet explorer are you using ?

                                  New version 0.3.2 beta !

                                  Changelog :

                                  • Fix bugsplat when deleteing/purging layers with Outliner opened
                                  • New naming conventions (For the Extension Warehouse)

                                  Download in the plugin store !

                                  At startup, you should get once "Error Loading File layers_panel.rb no such file to load -- layers_panel.rb". This is normal, it's just the plugin deleting the old files.

                                    this is with release 0.3.2
                                    same naming issue with names not changing in the LayersPanel - they are changing in the Layers Window though

                                    I updated the plugin this morning. The layers were made yesterday. I closed down SU. restarted SU. captured film so its not happening with the layers or folders before the plugin was installed, as all were made yesterday
                                    C

                                    EDIT: in the time its taken me to write the above the layer has now changed to 'hello' in LayersPanel. just so you know...

                                      Doh! I was just about to look at this.

                                      Can you PM me the old version that crashed? I'd like to have a look at it.
                                      (Also, what did you do to avoid the crash?)

                                        Is it just the Win32 API dependency that makes this Windows only?
